♪ yeah yeah yeah ♪ ♪ ♪ >> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york this is the daily show with jon stewart. (cheers and applause) captioning sponsored by comedy central >> jon: ladies and gentlemen my name is jon stewart. our guest top christine lagarde. christine lagarde, managing director of the inf international monetary fund. she will be here to promote money later on. a lot of surprising results from last night i don't think anybody expected-- oh and the oscars too. about common and john legend though come on. those guys whooo!
11:01 pm
they were, that was one of the best moments on tv i've ever seen. but first everybody knows isis are horrible barbaric apocalyptic death full of blood thirsty monsters. i know that it is on all of their advertisements. (laughter) that's why our government is throwing ot all the stops to wipe them out. >> president obama is convening what is being called a summit on countering violence extremism, to defeat the terrorists that go beyond military actions. >> jon: oh [bleep]. (laughter) >> you done poked a sleeping bear isis. and now the bear is having a summit! (laughter) cuz even though this bear is a perfect killing machine it would prefer if just one time other large mammals had an idea. because we are running out of salmon while the pandas
11:02 pm
just get fat [bleep] happy rolling around in the snow buying up all of our debt. anyway, the point is we're trying to think of ideas to get isis's picnic basket am but in spite of america's decisive bureaucratic action some naysayers have an important bone to pick with the president's strategy. >> we know the president is to the going to call them islamic extremists or muslim radicals within the french leadership don't have a problem with calling radical islamists radical islamists. >> the words radical islamist terrorism do not come out of the president's mouth. >> that is true. another word that does if the come out of his mouth is moist. (laughter) >> jon: not for political reasons, the president just doesn't like the way it sounds. he think it's gross. moist. but ted cruz say look it
11:03 pm
can't be true someone in the administration has to be using the word islamist. >> senior administration officials were asked why they avoid the term islamic extremism and in the words of one official, this official said we'll call them terrorist you can call them what you want. >> seriously, whatever we want? (laughter) like ball gargling taint clowns? grumpy, lumpy no big wumpies? butt face face butt. but you know what, president obama wouldn't be mincing words if he understood the real situation. >> my god isis is taking over the middle east. >> the holy war is here. >> the reality is we have people trying to kill us. >> they're not a jv team. they're not on the run and we're not winning. (laughter) >> you know, talking to the president here, not the referee at your kiddie mighty might football game. and cody was not -- >> look, we do need a
11:04 pm
straight answer on this whole no say-islam thing mr. president. please explain. >> i wants to be very clear about how i see it. al qaeda and isil and groups like it are desperate for legitimacy. >> they pop grate the notion that america and the west generally, is at war with islam. we must never accept the premise that they put forward. because it is a lie. nor should we grant these terrorists the religious legitimacy that we seek. they are not religious leaders, they're terrorists. >> jon: six years into his presidency, six and a half years into his presidency this man still thinks that he can persuade us through reasoned argument. (laughter) have you met us? oh, you have a rationale.
11:05 pm
i withdraw my freak out. so the president has made a very conscious attempt to avoid the word islam assuring critics that this is a deliberate choice designed to deny isis any further propaganda fuel. it's the type of restrained test somewhat undone every time one of our killing robots mistakes a wedding for a terror training camp. anyway, but that's always been obama's problem. obama thinks that if he just sits down and explains things to us in a calm reasoned slightly annoyed tone everyone will get it it's what the medical community called msn-identity is. a condition where one uses facts and research to refute o points delivered while-- in its own suggesting, you can't believe you have to explain this to these [bleep] idiots again. symptoms include cancellation. mr. president that kind of argument is to the going to reach euro points.
11:06 pm
they only respond to emotion. total communication breakdown. here is how you know listen to the president's critic plan for what the president should be doing to fight isis and then listen to what we are doing to fight isis. >> could we increase air strikes and pound isis even more? >> the u.s.-led coalition has launched almost 2500 air strikes against isis. >> we need to do it by building up a big coalition in the middle east. >> parker will lead a broad coalition. >> we need to completely annihilate isis. >> we will degrade and ultimately destroy isil. >> for him to downplay this threat. >> isil is a threat not only to iraq but also the region and ultimately over the long-term could be a threat to the united states. >> jon: it's like those people complaining about obama it's like they are complaining about a show but like you girl, it's actually pret see good. i know the whole adorkable thing was off putting but schmidt's hilarious winston
11:07 pm
ceci. funny and beautiful, zoe is just a-- holding the -- catching up on-- you see unfortunately no matter what the president outlines this is the strategy his opponents are looking for. >> how would you deal with icist? >> i would go very very hard and very very strong. (laughter) (cheers and applause) >> jon: hard and strong. [bleep] no details, no strategy. just military foreign talk. the president's got to go. balls deep into isis in every orifice possible all night long until it screams with surrender like most things that have spent a night with me it will wish it had never been [bleep] born!
11:08 pm
(cheers and applause) >> so both sides fundamentally agree on the need to blow up a lot of bad guys. this is really just a disagreement about tone. isn't there some way we can bridge that gap? have obama keep this but also use this and a little of this. of course it would help to have some sort of production department, editing an graphics but who even has that kind of graphic. >> i want to be very clear about how i see it. al qaeda and isil and groups like it are desperate for legitimacy. they propagate the notion that america and the west generally, is at war with islam. >> we must never accept the premise that they put forward. nor should we grant the terrorists the religious legitimacy that they seek they are not religious leaders. they're terrorist. >> jon: whooo!

11:12 pm
a new yorker you may remember him as the mayor who replaced all of your porn and drugged with m & ms. (laughter) and you end up eating a bunch of green m & ms make you horn ian they you got nowhere to go. well america's mayor is back. >> giuliani was speaking at a private dinner at manhattan's 21 club featuring wisconsin governor scott walker. >> saying to the crowd quote, i do not believe and i know is a horrible thing to say but i do not believe that the president loves america. >> here's what is crazy. speaking at a private republican dinner at the 21 club and you have to warn your audience that you're about to say something horrible about president obama. (laughter) that's how bad this was. horrible obama says are what they paid money to come hear.
11:13 pm
they even called the dinner horrible [bleep] about obama conversation with scott walker and rudy giuliani and yet you still had to say this is too far for that. so clearly, mr. mayor, you know the drill. you went too far real it in as best you can. >> i'm not questioning his patriotism. he's a patriot i'm sure. >> jon: actually that is literally you what did. that is the literal definition of what you did. patriotism is love of country, unless are you questioning his ability to love period. perhaps if he's some type of robot sent from the future to destroy america by giving us health care, i guess, i don't know. it's pretty offensive. but i feel like there's still room for what you said to be just a-- just a-- more offensive, mr. mayor? >> i am at a stage of real real worry for my country. isis isil, al qaeda, very dangerous. horrible people. you know president obama
11:14 pm
didn't live through september 119. i did. president obama didn't almost, you know, have a building fall on him myself and my police commissioner and fire commissioner did. >> jon: shut up! you know you're not the mayor of 9/11 right? you don't own 9/11. you don't own anything but the unique willingness to crassly exploit it here is how far out in the deep end giuliani was on this. >> mr. mayor, do you want to apologize for your comment. you can understand the differences but you condemn his patriotism to question his love of america? he was raised in part by his grandparents, hi grandfather served in world war ii. >> jon: big deal you know who else served in world war -- hitler. he didn't love america. (laughter) i'm sorry. mayor giuliani he must have made a mistake. he must have thought that he went to visit the old 9:00 p.m. fox time slot.
11:15 pm
you were looking for safe haven for your deranged right wing views you have to go on the show that is now after megan. >> if you really love somebody, let's just say somebody do you fundamentally want to transform them? >> jon: thank you sean (laughter) >> yes, the old bama fundamentally transform america comment as republicans have taken out of context since 2008. i see what is going on here. the real problem with obama is that he loved america in spite of his flaws not by ignoring them. but isn't that a more honest kind of love. i mean mr. mayor, if i may you used to rock this look. until someone who loves you said you need to fundamentally transform your cabasa. and you listened. but maybe we should ask
11:16 pm
younger giuliani what he thinks about changing things that you presumably love like 20 years ago. >> dream with me of a city that can be better than the way it is now. i ask you to give me a chance. to make change happen for us. don't let those who are so fearful of transformation stop the process before it begins. >> jon: [bleep] why do you hate new york! (cheers and applause) >> jon: why! if you loved this country you would love all this country. not just the parts it that remind you of you. the whole [bleep] thing. ♪ ♪ to four atheists ♪ ♪ to minorities ♪ ♪ trying to vote ♪

(cheers and applause) let's start with this. so there is this new imf
11:22 pm
initiative about gender equality. about getting women into the workforce around the world. how do you manage that. what that? >> trying to close the gender gap. that is what we are studying. because wherever we go and we studied a 150 countries, there is always something not very clear, sometimes sometimes very, that will prevent women from entering the job market, from contributing to the economy, and from actually choosing what they want to do. i will give you an example. there are countries where a woman cannot open a bank account without having the provision authorization and signature of someone else there are countries where a woman cannot-- in inherit the same way his brother would inherit. in some countries where they cannot hold assets or property and there therefore they cannot take out a loan and start a business. >> jon: and drive. >> there are countries where it is-- . >> jon: countries we might even be allied with.
11:23 pm
in a very bizarre way. >> you know what is amaze being this study is 90% of the 150 countries have at least one obstacle. one legal little hurdle that is going to prevent women from doing what they want to do. >> jon: so the idea is the international monetary fund puts pressure on them to remove that legal hurdle even though there may be other cultural issues that will not be -- >> no it's their choice. but i think our job is to show how it has an impact on their economy. >> jon: that it will grow their economy. >> i will give an example. japan has an aging population. and they have an issue because they don't have enough you know working. they don't have enough people to do the work. and yet they have very talented japanese women often better educated than men. >> jon: what is the barrier in japan. is there a hurdle. >> -- cultural issues that have to be dealt with. but when we showed the study
11:24 pm
to the prime minister and we showed him how much he could grow the economy, he allowed women to actually have-- available eliminate some of the barriers. let's try to work on that. and the experts are really signature, but out there to open-- to allow women-- . >> jon: you've seen real change then from this program. >> yeah. >> jon: are you-- now what about countries let's say that women are able to work in but when they do they might be paid let's say a little bit less or a lot less and then they would like say something about it at an award show and then some people would clap. but then but then after that a bunch of other people would get really mad about that you know why is this such an exclosive issue. because it seems like a simple clear-cut measure of equality that is very difficult to argue in any kind of rational way. >> and yet it's all over the place. >> jon: this is what i'm
11:25 pm
saying. >> the gender gap is anywhere between 12ish to over 25% depending on which country you look at. >> jon: as the head of the international monetary fund. >> yeah. >> jon: i don't know how comfortable i am with you using "ish" (laughter) in terms of your statistics i would like to see-- so hows is the greek bailout oh it's about $6 billionish. you have to be more specific here. >> all right. >> jon: speaking of which, today is the deadline. greece was to hand in their list of reforms to the international monetary fund you floated them a loan to keep them afloat while they were going. what does the list say? what are the reforms that they're going to make? >> at this point in time, i haven't seen the list yet. so i know they're working on it and i know they are very serious about putting in place lists of reforms. >> jon: but it is due today. >> if will be helpful for
11:26 pm
the economy. due today. now you know maybe they're thinking dz. >> jon: it's due today. >> maybe they are thinking close of business on the west coast. >> jon: or, or, or they could have not done it. >> no, i think-- i really think that they are working on it. and i very much hope that we are able tomorrow morning to tell them what we think of it. which means that we're going to work overnight. >> jon: but i'm not an economist. get rid of half of their consonants and i think think of the money you save on just printing signs in greece. somopolopolous becomes. somei. stick around and we'l
